Loves 'Orrible when you are 53 and an 'arf.. (part 2)

[Postdog]

Well, in the immortal words of "roll away the stone", I went away punching the air saying "made it" cos she said yes, and later on when we did, I went straight for the kill and said I'd like to take her out one night. She said maybe, which thinking about it later was probably no, but the fact she said no so nicely was a big plus.

So again, the waiting game, cos she never came back until this Friday. When she arrived I said "hello Pat" and she said "Hello Michael", and all during the evening there was small talk between us all, and I even got another dance - this time looping her arms around me and getting very close indeed. And when we came to say goodbye, I even got a goodnight kiss (sloppy peck, not a snog). Defo more friendlier, and the signs look good for a date at least...

She still does it for me, but very bad news - I live on the London/Essex border, and she lives in Central London - far too far to consider, let alone sustain, anything other than a friendship. Been there, done that, it it places a strain on things (plus work makes it impossible now anyway). Oh why couldn't she at least live with two miles....it might be another ten years before I get so smitten again, and by then I'll have forgotten why.......

Responses on part one please.

[tiggerblue10]

Oh! I think I missed part 1.

[caththecrazy]

I can't find part one either

But go for it Post Dog btw is your name Michael? Just checking???

[tiggerblue10]

I'm going backwards and forwards now so please bear with me Michael.

[tiggerblue10]

Oooops! I mean Postie.

[bensmum]

That's no distance Postdog! If she really does it for you you have to grab your chance - you can overcome the distance surely?

[caththecrazy]

It could be different this time around if you don't try you'll be thinking what if for ever

[tiggerblue10]

Well I live in saff London and my bf lives in Rochford, Essex and things seem to be fine with us. I get to see him once a month but thats fine by me as I like my own company.

[pastafreak]

I really don't see the problem. Ok there is the 'distance'...errmm....it can't be THAT insurmountable.It isn't like a 5-6 hour drive,or train,plane or bus ride,is it?? And if you are that smitten...then surely she is worth the effort?? And if she is worth it...then 60 mins or 6 days won't get in the way of true love.
The worst thing in life is to look back and wonder 'what if...'

[Postdog]

It's all probably wishful thinking anyway, but as I said, I've been there before - absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then again, outof sight, out of mind.

[noway2]

Post,did you type all that,or P@P.

[caththecrazy]

But this time it migth work - go for it

[Postdog]

see part 2 noway

[tamborine]

half hour on the tube is too far to see ur luv - dont be pathetic.....get yourself in gear or admit your a lazy lover and remain solo.

[caththecrazy]

how long will this journey actually take?

[khoey]

is your name Michael white? you seem very familiar.
i cant find part 1,why write something off so quickly because of distance,i live in essex and my boyfriend live in Kent we still manage to see each other a couple of times a week.

[Postdog]

She's in Islington somewhere. It's a 45 minute journey by tube, and I'm close, but depending on where she is exactly it could add on another 30 minutes.

no it's not white.

[caththecrazy]

OMG one of my best friends lives in Islington and her mum is called Pat

Does she have a daughter????

[Postdog]

Oh come on Cath, I've only really spoken to her a bit, and there was load music - hardly conducive to family history's

[caththecrazy]

Oh I thought you might know her as you obviously knew each other's names and I didn't know what small talk entailed did I?

[christine847]

Postdog..............Go for it......you only live once you know! x
